Neocaridina Shrimp Care & Breeding Tips

Breeding Advice
Maintain stable water parameters and a stress-free environment. Provide plenty of hiding spots with moss and plants to protect baby shrimp. A consistent diet with quality shrimp food and calcium sources supports healthy molting and strong colonies.

Recommended Water Parameters

• pH: 6.5–8.0

• Temperature: 68–78°F

• TDS: 180–250 ppm
  While adaptable, these shrimp thrive best with stable conditions.

Tank Size
A 5-gallon tank can work to start, but 10 gallons or more offers better long-term stability for growing colonies.

Substrate & Plants
Dark substrates enhance their coloration. Add mosses, ferns, and floating plants to boost biofilm growth and provide natural hiding spaces.

Feeding
Provide a varied diet of shrimp pellets, algae wafers, blanched vegetables (such as spinach or zucchini), and occasional protein-based foods.
